The reason why I'm asking is that there had been a truly ridiculous amount of identical patches, all dealing with exact same function. Odds of random coincedence are very low - there's quite lot of similar places, and AFAICS you are the 8th poster choosing the same one. I would expect that kind of response to a "kernel throws scary warnings on boot for reasonably common setups", but for a comment about a function being slightly wrong this kind of focus is strange. If that's some AI (s)tool responding to prompts along the lines of "I want to fix some kernel problem, find some low-hanging fruit and gimme a patch", we might be seeing a small-scale preview of a future DDoS with the same underlying mechanism...
